      Muting this dude 👇 for repeatedly posting clickbait headlines from low quality studies reported in unreliable sources. (I never followed him.) Please stop retweeting this guy. @zeynephttps://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1249732760417247232 …

      I can't speak to the rest of what he has tweeted, but I suspect he is referring to this study which was published in a legitimate peer-reviewed journal: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41423-020-0424-9 … I'm not sure I would dismiss this out of hand.

      Study is real, his tweets are sensationalist and out-of-context and one should read the study till the end, also (unlike him).

          I agree the framing is reckless, I was more objecting to the "low quality studies reported in unreliable sources." COntext is important, and the caveat here is that it's a pseudovirus and they were working with T cell lines, rather than primary cells.

          Fair point. It's not a low-quality study at all.
